GALLAGHER Now in his 12th season as head coach of the Hartford men’s basketball team in 2021-22, John Gallagher brought the Hawks to new heights as his Hawks are coming off the program’s firstever America East Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance this past season. Named the 10th head coach in the 72-year history of the program prior to the 2010-11 campaign, Gallagher has led the Hawks to 70 wins — an average of 17 per year — over the past four seasons, the most in a four-year span in Hartford’s Division I history (since 1984-85). With 157 career victories, he enters the 2021-22 campaign as the all-time winningest coach in Hartford men’s basketball’s Division I history, surpassing legendary coach Jack Phelan (124 wins). A Philadephia native, Gallagher has coached 32 All-Conference Team honorees, with 17 of those awards coming over the past four seasons. During his tenure, the Hawks have earned four First Team, seven Second Team, eight Third Team, six All-Defensive Team, three AllRookie Team and five All-Academic Team selections. The highlight of Gallagher’s career — and arguably the program’s 37 years as a Division I program — came in 2020-21, one of the toughest seasons that college basketball has ever endured. In a year that was abbreviated due to COVID-19, the Hawks became the first team in America East history to win four games on the way to claiming the league’s tournament title. Knocking off Binghamton, UAlbany and perennial power Vermont as the No. 4 seed, Hartford, which was picked to finish sixth in the conference’s preseason poll, downed No. 6 UMass Lowell in the Championship Game to punch the program’s first ticket to the NCAA Tournament. Drawing No. 1-seeded Baylor in the First Round, the Hawks fell to the eventual National Champion, 79-55, in Indianapolis. The Bears’ win against the Hawks marked their smallest margin of victory against any opponent throughout their NCAA Championship run. The banner-raising campaign was not the only accomplishment for Gallagher and his Hawks in 2020-21. Under his guidance, Hartford, which won 10 of 11 home games, finished the campaign with a 15-8 overall record for the highest winning percentage in program history (.625). Gallagher had Hartford knocking on the doorstep of the NCAA Tournament for quite some time before the historic 2020-21 season. The Hawks have top-four finishes in each of the past four seasons, and have qualified for each of the past two America East Championship title games. Despite losing all five starters from a 2018-19 squad that won 18 games and lost in double overtime in the America East’s semifinals to defending champion UMBC, the 2019-20 team was one game away from raising the program’s first-ever league championship banner inside Reich Family Pavilion.
12
Posting an 18-win season for the second time in as many years in 2019-20, the Hawks were set to board a bus and head to Burlington, where they would face Vermont in their second America East Championship appearance in program history. Moments before departure, though, the storybook season came to a screeching halt, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancelation of the game.
JOHN GALLAGHER’S CAREER HIGHLIGHTS WINNINGEST COACH IN HARTFORD’S DI HISTORY 157-190 CAREER RECORD AE COACH OF THE YEAR 2017-18 NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES 2020-21 CIT APPEARANCES 2012-13, 2017-18 AE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS 2020-21 AE TOURNAMENT FINALIST 2019-20, 2020-21 2 NABC ALL-DISTRICT 1 HONOREES 32 AE ALL-CONFERENCE HONOREES
Known for developing potent offenses that are typically dangerous from three-point land, Gallagher has transitioned Harford into one of the top defensive teams in the America East. The Hawks ranked 31st in the nation in scoring defense (63.9 ppg) and 10th in nation in three-point field goal defense (.290) in 2020-21. The previous season, his squad was the second-best in the nation in defending the three-point line, holding opponents to a .275 clip from behind the arc. In 2017-18, Gallagher piloted Hartford to a program-record 19-win season, earning America East co-Coach of the year honors. That only scratches the surface of what the Hawks accomplished that season. Picked to finish eighth in the America East after a 9-23 finish in 2016-17, Gallagher led Hartford to one of the best single-season turnarounds in program history. Making a 10-win improvement, the Hawks broke the program’s Division I records in regularseason wins (18) and overall victories with a 19-14 record. Hartford’s record-breaking campaign also featured the program’s second Division I postseason appearance, as the Hawks were invited to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). The program’s first-ever postseason berth — a CIT invitation — also came under Gallagher in 2012-13. In addition to the team’s successes, Gallagher has also reached key milestones in his coaching career over the past two seasons. Three days after becoming the fifth coach in program history to reach 100 wins with a 79-62 victory at New Hampshire (Jan. 31, 2018), Gallagher became Hartford’s most successful Division I coach after defeating Stony Brook, 73-64 (Feb. 3, 2018). The Hawks have also excelled in the classroom during Gallagher’s tenure. Hartford earned a National Basketball Coaches Association (NABC) Team Academic Award for the third straight year in 2020-21. In addition, the Hawks’ 3.61 combined GPA ranked first among the America East’s 10 men’s basketball programs. The Hawks posted back-to-back winning records for the first time in Hartford’s Division I history under Gallagher. Breaking out for a 17-win season that was capped by the program’s first-ever Division I postseason bid — all while boasting the 11th youngest squad in the nation — in 2012-13, Hartford posted a 17-16 record the following season in 2014-15.
13
At the conclusion of Hartford’s breakthrough season in 2012-13, CollegeInsider.com named Gallagher the 2013 America East Coach of the Year. That year, he was also a finalist for the prestigious Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award. Attributing to the Hawks’ success in the 2012-13 season was their tenacity on the defensive side of the court. Holding its opponents to a school record 61.2 points per game, Hartford, which won 17 games that season, also led the America East in steals (8.2 per game) and forced turnovers (16.0 per game). Gallagher’s hiring as Hartford’s fifth Division I coach in 2010 served as a reunion wtih the University, as he previously logged two seasons as the Hawks’ associate head coach (2006-08). Between his two stints at Hartford, he served two seasons as an associate head coach under Glen Miller at the University of Pennsylvania. After the 2010 Final Four, Gallagher left Penn to become Steve Donahue’s Associate Head Coach at Boston College, but was released from that position when the opportunity to return to Hartford’s sidelines arose. During his first stint at Hartford as an assistant, Gallagher breathed new life into the Hawks scoring by helping implement a new motion offense. The Hawks improved upon a 62.1 point-pergame average in his first year (2006-07) by netting 70.8 points per game in his second season (2007-08). In the latter season, which featured a then-school record 312 made three-pointers, Hartford made its first-ever America East Championship title game appearance while posting 18 wins, the most in program history at the time. Prior to that, Gallagher was the top assistant for Fran O’Hanlon’s staff at Lafayette College. At Lafayette, he served as the program’s top recruiter and was responsible for developing the team’s guards. Gallagher arrived at Lafayette by way of La Salle University, where he coached five seasons, including two under Big 5 legend Speedy Morris and the final three under Billy Hahn. He jumped right into coaching in 1999 upon graduating from Saint Joseph’s University, where he was a guard for three seasons and a member of the 1996-97 squad that advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. Gallagher is one of four siblings in a basketball-rich family, as his sisters Ann and Joan each played college basketball at La Salle and Boston College, respectively. Gallagher and his wife, Geneva, have three daughters, Kenna, Alanna and Mary Kate, and one son, John “Jack” Gallagher.
